If you haven’t been paying attention… you might think that most planes are empty… and flights are dirt cheap.  That is sooo April.

Here’s what’s going on as we head into summer travel season.  Most of the fly for a dollar dirt cheap flights are gone.  The airlines have cut their schedules back so far… that in some cases… you’re paying more for the ticket… and once you get to the airport you’ll be surprised how many people are in the boarding line for your flight.

Here is Salt Lake City… we’re fortunate to be a Delta hub.  Because report from travel bloggers indicate that Delta is the one airline that’s serious about Coronavirus precautions.   They’re only booking flights to 60 percent of capacity.  They’re trying to avoid booking middle seats.  They want people to wear masks.  There a constant reminders about social distancing as you walk down the jetway.  And they board from the back of the plane to the front so you don’t bump and grind into people as you find your seat.

Other airlines not so much… and by most accounts… the worst right now is American Airlines.  Which doesn’t seem to be enforcing any of its covid safety rules… nor reminding people how to stay safe.   Some United Airlines flight attendants say they’ve been given no directives on how to handle people who are coughing with no mask on…. so they don’t do anything.

The advice from travel bloggers … if you’re ready to travel and want to stay safe…   when you see something say something.  Be the squeaky wheel to protect your health.
